I used to supply Couriers to the Royal Bank of Scotland. The bank insured each rider to carry Bearer bonds up to a value of £1 under £1,000,000,000. Generally you'd send in between 3 and 9 riders at a time for these runs.

Or there was the late night cash runs from angel triangle down to SE1 with 4 holdalls on board, each measured 15X15X36 inchs stuffed with cash for HSBC. The runs went by bike as we could do it in 7 minutes as opposed to a cash van taking 30.

simple

cheque is made payable to Red Tomato Company

you then form a company called Redd Tomato Company and cash the cheque

as long as its similar enough for a bank teller to just think it was a typo, i reckon u wd be ok

wierd that bikes were doing cash runs. much easier to knock over a bike than a securicor van

ok a better version of the plan would be if u have a friend in the cheque issuing department

if the company normally issues cheques for Red Tomato Company, you get your mate to issue a cheque for the Re Tomato Company, an you set up a company with the same name.

Another thing is that some purchasing departments never query invoices below a certain amount. So if you just invoice companies at random for a small amount, a fair few will pay you money.

I once met a guy in purchasing who discovered this scam after they did an audit and found that one company had invoiced them for lots of small amounts (and been paid) even though they had never had dealings with the company or received any goods or services from them.

Presumably as it's making no interest whilst in transit? Or does that just apply to gold bullion?

No, it applies to that too. It's the only reason cheques take 5 days to clear. Rolling Eyes

It's bad having a cheque for that much money in your hand, but you know you can't cash it.

At the last job I had my company credit card. No limit on it. Could put anything on it!

Now that's bloody tempting!

Was that 1 million there or 1 billion you just said there? , I wonder how many were tempted to vanish off down soho and get it washed.

Have you ever tried to keep up with a well ridden bike through Central London?

All money in the banking system is earning money even while in transit.

Once had a rider steal Lord Pearsons mobile phone. The next morning I had MI5 on the phone.

Next morning eh , must be 4-5 hours in that ,

Easily enough time to plant the transponder onto another bike

get out the country, change your appearance get a couple of fake passports and be in the Caymen Islands a few days later travelling by Cargoship.

Surely with a bike with 1bn quid on the back the dispatch company would stick some
sort of tracking onto that bike to prevent the rider going awol with the cash?, hence
a transponder of some type,

Or was the company so big and powerful losing 1bn was like losing a couple of pennies
to them re the London bankers who had a dodgy secretary who nicked 15 million off them
and they didn't notice for years cus they had so much money.


if they don't have transponders then I'll take the job! , split it with you 70-30 since I'm the one who'll be fugative.

Just to explain this a little further to those that don't understand.

The trust put in a courier is to carry a package and pretend not to know whats inside it regardless of where we pick up from. Legally this means we can NEVER be in possesion of the contents of a package only in possesion of the package.

Small potatoes in comparison, but I had a cheque on my desk tonight for £1,700 quid - and I ripped it up. Very nice to do so too - it was a cheque I'd written myself that had been returned because I no longer had to pay for something that I had expected to get stung for.

Unfortunately I had an unexpected bill for approximately £3,200 worth of car repairs last month, so there isn't a new bike on the cards.

I don't think you understand Colin.

Its a courier bike NOT a bullion van, it doesn't have a set route. It goes very very fast, is used to people pulling out and trying to kill it and doesn't stop even for Police cars until its dropped its load.

You would have to know the route which the driver would choose as he felt like it and be able to get a visual on them.

I think you should come to London at the end of next month after I change bikes and go pillion on my bike for a morning of work. Then you might understand.
